Democratic country to dictator: You rigged your elections! We will come and kick your ass.
Dictator: I did not rig the elections, I used the same Diebold machines as you did.
Democratic country: You use illegal technology! We will come and kick your ass.
More worried about the definition of clean energy:
Currenct definition: CO2 neutral/emission neutral
I do not think that is enough since reducing other materials faster than the natural speed of it, means more energy is released into the eco system. Only wind energy is neutral, and sun energy is neutral under conditions it is harvested against a background with the same absorbtion levels so not more energy is contained on earth than before. Burning down a forest and replanting it is neutral too in the long run.
Yes, that was the alternative news message from the RIAA which had warned NBC for this kind of mishap. If people get a chance to review your products at their own leisure instead of in a by the RIAA dictated way, everything goes wrong. This week you think you "sell" more, but next week it is all over. Pirates will take over your channel, and you will go broke. NBC be warned, stop this while you still can, and put your other broadcasts behind DRM. People are tivoing them!
This will really be helpful in destroying a good technology. If they think of more use of these queries than statistics like how many people look for xyz, for example block all of them containing the words sex, pussy, or any others, sites with literature, sites about cats, sites with texts about the procreation of fireflies, etc. will then not be retrievable anymore???
They can also just use google, msn, yahoo and many others to search themselves. It will just be another cat-mouse game again in which sites with illegal content will alter the way they show up in the search engines to prevent goverment queries from detecting them, and innocent sites with accidental hits on the subject will get FBI visits.
Many goverments favour family with kids above families without kids, so I agree with your: If you can not take care of a kid, then don't get one principle.
This law however is useless. The real spammers are starting to be legalized this way by telling that they can not spam kids. SO keep this law, and you do not do anything wrong??? That is nice. I see some "people" starting "marketing" companies now with that in the back of their minds, and send out all the Viagra mail to anybody as long as they did not put themselves on the do not send list.
Any law narrowing down spam instead of straight forbidding it should be terminated. Forbid spam completely and everybody will be a lot happier.
The point I was trying to make with my err list is not that they do not make good products. It is more the longterm commitment which they showed so far for non Sparc/Java products will keep me away from buying Sun systems. Apple in a datacenter is expensive, and pretty soon useless except if you depend on OS X for your data crunching. So as desktop systemvendor apple, and server systemvendor Sun, it could be a match.
Looking at the numbers, that would be more logical. So lets ask Steve Jobs what he thinks about those Sparc, err intel, err amd, err sparc only, err intel again, err no x86 solaris anymore, err free x86 solaris, err opensource, err linux is evil, err linux support department(?) company which is loosing money. Sun just does not have any news from themselves anymore which can do anything in the market, so for the mean time, lets gossip about the popular kid on the block: Apple.
Telephone calls to and from the subject are represented in a spiderweb model. Telemarketing firm calls suspect and several 10.000ths of other people. Others are called by other marketing firms again. Model explodes? Or this one, just as interesting: The model takes marketing firms in account, a marketing firm employee is a terrorist (not suspected) and does the communication by calling terrorist one, communicate, than terrorist two, etc.. So what to do when you use the model? Include firm because of the second case, exclude firm because else about everybody except the UNA bomber is a terrorist (UNA bomber did not have telephone is his residence (-:, and he was working alone, so the model would not work anyway).
Easy to avoid if the OS just is seperated from this application. There are enough base applications which run on multiple OSes without security risks. So I agree, virusses are not a big issue.
Suppose this is a success product, a video version comes out, and a not so techsavvy person, lets call her "Paris" puts a video "Live in Paris (2)" in the open section instead of the blocked session. In short: I think users should have control over what they put on the device, else it ends up full with crap since it just uploads, or you are spreading your own files unintentionally.
I haven't seen Sanyo for sale in the Netherlands. Maybe I have to look better. I used to have a 4 year old Nokia (6210?), borrowed it after my other Nokia broke down, the battery got a bit loose causing the phone to turn of by itself (7110). I now have a $40 siemens. The sound is not really great, but for the rest it works pretty good.
About the webbrowsing: The use of the phone for a map of the city is handy.
Wow, that must by a huge operation you have going on. You have your own TLD.scam. Where can I register my companies so I can loose a bit more money to the maintainers of the TLDs?
Out of the list above, Linux & Windows don't do many of those things amazingly well (Although both of them offer async I/O)
That is why you can choose between using different schedulers, creating an OS like real time linux for telephone applications. I don't know if Microsoft altered schedulers in the media centric releases of Windows.
All OSs are still developping the mentioned features. At this moment however systems are fast enough to process current video data faster than realtime. The current OSs I think is also capable of handling HDTV, the limitation for that is in the hardware which just gets to costly. In the end the names will stay. That the content will be different (Windows HastaLaVista 95, or Linux kernel 3.0) is pretty much logical anyway with progress in OS engineering.
Wishlist for a mobile phone for people who really use the thing professionaly:
1. Can call with it and has good sound
2. Carkit/headset
3. Good battery life
4. Sturdy
5. Address book: Plain simple, no big screen with lots of info. Just the seeing the name of the person in the list is enough.
6. Normal size and lightweight
Wishlist according to mobile phone manufacturers:
1. Portable data storage
2. Possibility to open you documents on the phone so while you are calling you can read the numbers of a spreadsheet from a screen the size of the palm of your hand and have a discussion about that
3. Ofcourse a music player, so that the long battery life is really useless. By the time you want to call you have to recharge your phone.
4. Photocamera just in case you want to take a 2 megapixel photo with a lense which is totally inadequate.
5. GPRS/MMS/UMTS/Internet: Anything for the old fashioned super high prices +super high margins which were once normal in the fixed telehpone line services.
And who ends up buying the telephones? 15 year old with no money to spend on the high priced services of the provider, downloading mainly ringtones from a crazy frog at $4 a week, and who will soon have 10GB available for that.
So it sells, everybody happy! And if the telephone drops on the floor and breaks the useless full color screen, it means that the 15 year old will just have to get a new phone again. So the fascination with stuff which breaks is not to weird for the manufacturers: Easy breakage which can be blamed on the user means more sales.

There just was no other option as a comment on this article. I was already looking for the guide to get the quote 100% right.
Luke, come over to the dark side....
You are the best! Will start freecycle.nl tomorrow! Darn it, a shop already claimed it.
It has some nostalgy to it (-:
Add Greg Bear "Blood's music" to the list, and it also shows a bit of upside possibilities (however very unlikely).

That doesn't bode much good for the final airplane. I do not want to live near the (military) airport where that thing will take off.

That is what you get with this kindd of copyright: Duplicates all over the place this way.
So she showed it is the same species, than it is not cross polination at all.
